I’m not against selling our players as that’s the only way we can grow our budget and progress. However it would be frustrating if it’s to another championship team, if it was to Burnley we need to push for big money

 

[SkyblueDad]

I think you are overestimating the effect of the pandemic and underestimating our finances. Every player has a price, if a valuation is met, the player will be sold. Norwich in particular are in a decent position financially, I believe they made over £20m profit only a year or so ago, and they haven't overspent in the PL.

Haven't Burnley rumoured to have paid over £4m for Twine?

Watford have paid £5.2m for Bayo, Millwall £2.25m for Flemming, Swansea £2m for centre back Darling,

Have that many players been signed up ? think this is a slow market this money is short all over, we have bagged three reckon we’ll get another couple plus a loan or two. Still a month to go and two months until the window shuts.

 

[SheafIsGod]

Anything over £2m and I’d sell up. Main priority is keeping hold of Gyok, Hamer & Sheaf.

That’s batshit.

 

[jim20]

I’d say realistically £8m to £10m, but I’d also don’t think we’d be crazy to demand £15m from a PL club

 

[shmmeee]

£6-8m for me

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

He’s English so lets ask for 20 million

 

[Offhegoes]

That’s batshit.

Agreed, O'Hare is the one I'd fear losing the most. Heartbeat of our team, warrior.

 

[Bugsy]

That’s batshit.

proper Guano!!

to be fair thou all 3 have there own individual qualities, that once gone they are going to be hard to replace

 

[stevefloyd]

£6-8m for me

As much as I like you you would never get 6-8 million for yourself

 

[1ccfc]

We don't actually know if Burnley are / were interested in O'Hare, but they have just signed Samuel Basten on a 3 year deal. He's a 'high energy' central midfielder who apparently links up play.

Got to be on the wind up. Anything over £6M more like.

 

[Tommo1993]

I would not expect a poxy £2m (on a player worth more) to be even partly reinvested in the team.

You don't sell your best players key to how you play, to rival clubs in the same league. Everyone under estimates our position. We donot need to sell. We will not sell unless an enormous offer is put on the table. That is not going to happen. Most clubs post pandemic are watching their pennies. Norwich and Burnley have to adapt and get players off their wage bill. Regardless of parachute payments they will need to be cautious, their debts still exist. Sunderland have not go a pot to piss in, wages is the area they can do more than us, they will draw 30+ fans every week. They won't be a force this season.
The time to get worried will be January's window. Players like O'Hare & Gokeres could be targets for clubs if they have shown top form for us. Then it will depend on where we are in the league ourselves. Hamer looked all but gone a few weeks ago, but still here. We are not the only club with a few decent players on other clubs radar. Anyway I rate Godden as our top player and no one is calling for him?
I would be surprised to see any of them leave.

Christ.

 

[JonesBob]

So we have been told, Fulham had a bid for Hamer, Middlesbro for Vik and now Burnley for OHare. All then went ahead and signed someone else. Maybe we are asking too much? I HOPE SO.

 

[shmmeee]

Best case scenario: we keep all three, they have a storming start to the season putting us top six in the process, and we get to ask silly fees in January.

Wouldn't it be best to keep them all season then and go for promotion

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Well yes. I had assumed we gave them contract extensions to sell beyond this summer and with even bigger prices on their heads.

If O’Hare is sold it will be the biggest kick in the bollox to us supporters since Robbie Keane, he’s under contract and as far as I know seems happy here first team regular & hasn’t asked to leave.

You have a short memory, we’ve sold players with clear international potential for a relative pittance in the past.

I mean yeah, I’m just assuming we have to sell.

Seems to me this is gathering pace... Alan Nixon also repeatedly mentioning Burnley's interest.

For the last time, don't use Nixon as a source for panic he hasn't got a clue what is going on (just ask derby fans who he fucked over royally)

Mark Robins has provided a progress report on Coventry City’s recruitment drive, outlining how many new players he expects to sign this summer.

Speaking from the club’s training camp in Spain, the Sky Blues boss said this morning that at this stage of the pre-season he’s looking at a maximum of four fresh faces, all of whom will be loan deals for the back end of the pitch.



We literally have no pot to piss in.

Pathetic backing from sisu.

 

[Danceswithhorses]

Payments to investors by SISU will always come first...Joy has openly said in the past, that her first duty is to them, and as a hedge fund manager, this should be no surprise.
The welfare of the club, by investing in the squad, is secondary (at best)

 

[Legia Sky Blue]

Loan players will still cost us money. If we don't sell any of our 'big' players I would be quite happy with that.

The better loan players are likely to only be avaialable closer to, or after the season starts so I can see a lot more bed wetting on here between now and then however

Yep because good quality loans are free

It's kind of what I expected and at least it seems to cover the area I think we need the most improvement. If we can get the right loanees then it'd be fine.

That is of course assuming that he means that that is what will happen if no-one is sold. If we sold one of the star names I'd hope he could look for more permanent solutions (though he'd also have to replace whoever we lost).

I also guess the maximum of four is probably dependent on if he can get one of the squad players like Walker or Waghorn out on loan as well, giving him a bit more salary to play with to either go for better, more expensive loans or an extra body.

Take that with a ladle of salt. Robins never show his hand, we are short on funds no doubt but he isnt going to say anything other than the absolute minimum to abate the mad fans. we clearly have funds put aside for decent wages or we wouldn't have chased JCS.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

4 good loans and nobody else leaving would be a success. But there is going to be a huge turnover next summer

Yep, we will need a big turnover once we are in the Premier league!
